Slim in 6 to p90x!!!!!! Long...
RNY on 02/09/12
So due to a friends incredible success with p90x toning & losing weight I decided prior to surgery I was going to use this program to tone and strengthen once I had lost some weight.
I knew I would never do it prior to surgery even just losing the 40 some odd pounds and not dealing with the diabetes seems to have made a difference in energy.
I also determined based on what he said that there was no way I could do p90x at this stage of the game so dug out the last exercise videos I bought "Slim in 6". (By the same company that does p90x) I had brought them to work thinking I may do them on night shift and never had. So I blew the dust off of them tonight and made the commitment to do the six weeks. Figure I made it through opti and the fluid diet, this should be easy.
Made it about 1/2 way through before I needed to take a break. Was struggling at the end but I finished it with only a few short 30 second breaks and only modifying the floor exercises.
There is NO WAY prior to my surgery I would have made it that far. I would have been huffing and puffing after 3 minutes and I can actually say I feel pretty good. And I look great in my new PURPLE work out shorts, they match my purple trimmed asics.
So 1 workout down, 35 to go over the next six weeks!!!! Wish me luck...
